How hydrogen treatment makes MoS2 more reliable for various applications

(Nanowerk News) Molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) is a highly versatile material that can function, for example, as a gas sensor or as a photocatalyst in green hydrogen production. Although the understanding of a material usually starts from investigating its bulk crystalline form, for MoS2 much more studies have been devoted to mono and few layer nanosheets. The few studies conducted thus far show diverse and irreproducible results for the electronic properties of cleaved bulk MoS2 surfaces, highlighting the need for a more systematic study.
